"Proudly all Boeing"

Sadly, the all too usual frequent posters with ZERO sense of humor won't understand the satire/will feel the need to post some useless correction....

This is the biggest bunch of absolute BS I’ve ever seen.
Correct me if I’m wrong- but all those mergers were OMG - if we don’t merge , thousands of jobs will be lost and we may be bankrupt ( or already were in bankruptcy)

And my favorite bankruptcy schtick - if we don’t liquidate those pensions we will go out of business (signed off by a current supreme
court judge)

1) MadMax made the point that historically, the mergers were more about company survival (job PROTECTION) than what's best for the consumer. After all, they have to let the nation's number 1-6 largest airlines merge into the nation's 1-3 largest airlines. Has that proven good for the consumer?

NK seems to be in financial distress, that could potentially lead to job losses

2) It seems the judge here cited the Clayton Act, and ONLY been concerned with the consumer, and not at all with job protections. The nations 5-6 largeswt becoming 5, with a whopping 8% of market share when it's all over.

3) Administration that is supposedly "labor friendly" didn't allow a merger to go through.

first, the Dallas cowboys losing and now the spirit/JetBlue merge getting blocked.
It's funny that you think it's about Dallas. It's about the Packers, you know... the winners. Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.
